Why can liquid boil at a low pressure?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Paladinen [302]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: I found this online. Hope it helps you.

Explanation:

This pressure is transmitted throughout the liquid and makes it more difficult for bubbles to form and for boiling to take place. If the pressure is reduced, the liquid requires less energy to change to a gaseous phase, and boiling occurs at a lower temperature.

What force opposes gravity and keeps objects from falling to the center of<br> the earth?
stiv31 [10]

La fuerza de la gravedad depende de la masa (el peso) de cada objeto. La fuerza con que se atraen dos objetos es proporcional a su masa y disminuye rápidamente en el momento en que los separamos. De hecho, nosotros también atraemos objetos con ‘nuestra’ fuerza gravitatoria, pero pesamos tan poco que no podemos percibirlo. En cambio, el Sol es tan grande que es capaz de mantenernos girando a su alrededor a pesar de estar muy lejos. La Luna también ejerce su propia fuerza gravitatoria, pero, como es más pequeña y ligera que la Tierra, si nos pesásemos sobre su superficie veríamos que pesamos unas seis veces menos que en la Tierra.

Podríamos preguntarnos por qué la Luna no cae sobre la Tierra al igual que una manzana cae del árbol. La razón es que nuestro satélite nunca está quieto. Se mueve constantemente a nuestro alrededor. Sin la fuerza de atracción terrestre, se alejaría flotando en el espacio. Gracias a esta combinación de velocidad y distancia de nuestro planeta, la Luna siempre está en equilibrio, ni cae ni se aleja. Si se moviera más rápido, se alejaría, si se moviera con más lentitud, ¡caería!

Hemos dicho que la fuerza de la gravedad también depende de la distancia. Si nos alejásemos lo suficiente de la Tierra, escaparíamos a su fuerza de atracción. Y eso es lo que tratamos de hacer con las naves espaciales. Necesitamos superar la llamada ‘velocidad de escape’, que es aproximadamente 11,2 km/s (a esa velocidad, podríamos viajar de Londres a Nueva York ¡en tan solo 10 minutos!). Cuando un cohete alcanza esa velocidad, ya es libre para viajar por el sistema solar.

Dentro de una nave en órbita, no sentimos la fuerza de la gravedad terrestre. Los objetos no caen, sino que flotan, así que si saltas, no regresas al suelo. Es lo que les ocurre a los astronautas cuando están a bordo de una estación espacial que orbita alrededor de la Tierra.

A chemical reaction produces 653 550 kj of energy as heat in 142.3min. calculate the rate of energy transferred in kj per minute
miskamm [114]

We have the value of  

Total energy produced in the chemical reaction=653 550 KJ  

Time needed=142.3min  

To calculate the rate of energy transfer, that is the amount of energy produced per minute.  

Rate of energy transfer=\frac{Total energy produced}{Time needed}

=\frac{653 550}{142.3}

=4592.76 KJ min⁻¹

So, the rate of energy transfer is 4592.76 KJ min⁻¹.

Burning one gallon of gasoline releases 20 pounds of CO2 into the air. Harry’s compact car can travel 25 miles on one gallon of
son4ous [18]
There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those information's, the answer can be easily deduced.
Amount of gasoline required by Harry's car to travel 25 miles = 1 gallon
Then
amount of gasoline required
by Harry's car to travel 15000 miles = 15000/25
                                                         = 600 gallons
So 
Amount of CO2 released by burning 1 gallon of gasoline = 20 pounds
Then
Amount of CO2 released
by burning 600 gallon of gasoline = 600 * 20
                                                      = 12000 pounds
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the amount of CO2 that will be added by Harry's car to the atmosphere is 12000 pounds.
